Really glad to be a part of #SMPS4. Great experience!
A few photos from Bolzano during #SMPS4 conference. See you all in Thailand in 2026/27. It looks like, it's high time to move from solid state to biological pores😅.

#SMPS4 What a wonderful conference it has been! Thanks @chancao.bsky.social for organising! And looking forward already to SMPS5 in Thailand! 🇹🇭
We concluded #SMPS4 with a thought-provoking panel discussion on 'The Future of the Field.' A fitting end to an incredible conference, exploring the next frontiers in single-molecule protein sequencing!
Martin Charron from the University of Ottawa delivered a talk on 'Predicting Nanopore Electrical Signatures using Accurate Access Resistance Models for Optimized Protein Analysis.'
#SMPS4
Justin Cronk from ETH Zürich presented on 'Adaptive Interfacial Nanopores with Glass Capillaries toward Protein Characterisation.' An innovative approach to advancing protein analysis! #SMPS4
Deanpen Japrung from the National Science and Technology Development Agency delivered a talk on 'Advanced Nanopore Sensing and AI-Driven Classification of Human Serum Albumin Variants: Implications for Kidney Function and Diabetes Diagnostics.
#SMPS4
Next, Aleksandra Radenovic from EPFL presented on 'Advancing Frontiers in Nanopore Technologies and Scanning Ion Conductance Spectroscopy.' #SMPS4
We kick off the final day of #SMPS4 with Casey Platnich from the University of Cambridge, presenting on 'Nanopore sensing enables detection of topologically barcoded RNA and their associated proteins.' An exciting start to wrap up this incredible conference!
Xun Xu from MGI, one of our sponsors, wrapped up today’s sessions with a presentation on 'High-throughput Nanopore-based Peptide Sensing System.' We’re thankful for MGI's support! #SMPS4
Jagannath Swaminathan from Erisyon, one of our sponsors, presented on 'Robust and scalable single-molecule protein sequencing with fluorosequencing.' We are grateful for Erisyon's support! #SMPS4
Sanjin Marion from IMEC, one of our sponsors, presented on 'Solid state nanopores – fab to lab.' We appreciate IMEC's valuable support! #SMPS4
Andrew Heron, CEO of Portal Biotech and one of our sponsors, presented on 'Single-molecule identification and comprehensive PTM profiling of full-length proteins with nanopores.' We’re grateful for Portal Biotech's support! #SMPS4
Jayne Wallace, VP at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, one of our sponsors, delivered an inspiring talk. We appreciate their support! #SMPS4
Federico Thei, CEO and co-founder of Elements SRL, one of the proud sponsors of #SMPS4, shared his insights during a special session. We are grateful for Elements SRL’s support and Federico's engaging contribution to the conference!
Pranjal Sur from the Indian Institute of Science presented on 'Orientation Dependence of Current Blockade in Single Amino Acid Translocation through a Graphene Nanopore.'
#SMPS4
Chen Kaikai from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences delivered an enlightening talk on 'High-resolution glass nanopores for single-molecule detection.'
#SMPS4
It was a privilege to hear Mauro Chinappi speak about 'Electroosmotic flow in nanopore protein sensing.
#SMPS4
Ralph Scheicher from Uppsala University delivered an insightful talk on 'Insights from computational modelling: modified hydrophobic nanopores and impact of neighboring amino acids.'
#SMPS4
To all my proteomics skywalkers, it isn't fall and it isn't Delft, but the 2025 Single Molecule Protein Detection conference is underway and seems to have some posts using #smps4. Definitely follow along virtually.
Our valued collaborator, chemistry professor Bauke Albada from Wageningen, just gave a talk at #SMPS4 where he presented an original workflow to digest and sequence proteins with our nanopore approach.
Another brilliant session by Pablo Rivera-Fuentes from the University of Zurich on 'Single-Molecule Protein Identification using Blinking Patterns.'
#SMPS4
afterwards the music and dance quickly deteriorated in more popular styles
#SMPS4
Here's Ralph and us in action at #SMPS4
Additonaly @rhscheicher.bsky.social (&ChatGPT) drafted a 'poem on the dance of the proteins' that he recited during our live music at this #SMPS4 event
Great #SMPS4 conference dinner last night. Very last minute, we organized an impromptu band (@xiuqichen.bsky.social AmitMeller, JavierAlfaro, me) and rented musical instruments to play -as requested by the organizers- some tango music, where conference participants were invited to dance.
Klara Hlouchova from Charles University gave an engaging presentation on 'Exploration of peptide sequence space: en route from prebiotic to biotic catalysis.'
#SMPS4
Bauke Albada from Wageningen University & Research presented on 'An Orthogonal Click Approach to Convert Biological Proteins into Peptide-DNA Conjugates for Nanopore Reading.
